on the information collection, contact
Mrs. Celeste Sickles, APHIS’
Information Collection Coordinator, at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Export Health Certificate for
Animal Products.
OMB Number: 0579–0256.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The export of agricultural
commodities, including animals and
animal products, is a major business in
the United States and contributes to a
favorable balance of trade. To facilitate
the export of U.S. animals and products,
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
(USDA’s) Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) maintains
information regarding the import health
requirements of other countries for
animals and animal products exported
from the United States. The regulations
for export certification of animals and
animal products are contained in 9 CFR
parts 91 and 156.
Many countries that import animal
products from the United States require
a certification from APHIS that the
United States is free of certain diseases.
These countries may also require that
our certification statement contain
additional declarations regarding the
U.S. animal products being exported.
This certification must carry the USDA
seal and be endorsed by an APHIS
representative (e.g., a Veterinary
Medical Officer). The certification
process involves the use of information
collection activities, including an
Export Health Certificate for Animal
Products Form/Continuation Sheet
(Veterinary Services (VS) Forms 16–4/
16–4A), and if a certificate is denied or
withdrawn by VS, an exporter can
request a hearing to appeal VS’ decision.
These information collection
activities were previously approved by
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) with an estimated total annual
burden on respondents of 66,266 hours
and an estimated annual number of
responses of 133,652. Due to the
increase in exports in response to
market forces, the number of
respondents has increased to 42,000,
which has also increased the estimated
annual number of responses to 178,502.
However, we have decreased the
estimated total annual burden on
respondents from 66,266 hours to
57,122 hours because respondents
indicated that the time needed to
complete VS Form 16–4 was less than
our previous estimate.

We are asking OMB to approve our
use of these information collection
activities for an additional 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 0.32
hours per response.
Respondents: Exporters of U.S. animal
products.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 42,000.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 4.25.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 178,502.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 57,122 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 19th day of
June 2013.

Abstract: The Plant Protection Act (7
U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes the
Secretary of Agriculture to restrict the
importation, entry, or interstate
movement of plants, plant products, and
other articles to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into or their

the United States for: (1) A temporary
stay where unloading or landing is not
intended; (2) unloading or landing for
transshipment and exportation; (3)
unloading or landing for transportation
and exportation; or (4) unloading and
entry at a port other than the port of first
arrival. Fruits and vegetables that are
moved into the United States under
these circumstances are subject to
inspection and must be handled in
accordance with conditions assigned
under the safeguard regulations to
prevent the introduction and
dissemination of plant pests.
In accordance with § 352.30,
untreated oranges, tangerines, and
grapefruit from Mexico may be moved
into or through the United States in
transit to foreign countries under certain
conditions to prevent the introduction
of plant pests into the United States.
These conditions involve the use of an
information collection that includes an
Application for Permit to Transit Plants
and/or Plant Products, Plant Pests, and/
or Associated Soil Through the United
States (Plant Protection and Quarantine
Form 586).
